Yes, it is--that is what made me think of putting together jigsaw pieces which may or may not fit.

I actually went to the doctor about the ears, in May '19 because it was so weird;she thought it likely tied to the respiratory (prescribed Flonase); then went to an ENT specialist-no answers. Of course, at that time 'nobody' knew of Covid. Further, as far as I know, no one else was ill at my school of ~1300 people (usually any bug catches lots of people), and I was one of the oldest faculty--at that time, almost 69. My 'advanced' age, 'brain fog', tinnitus, proximity to Merck.....perhaps pieces from different puzzles, perhaps not.
I have tinnitus (predating COVID by several years). I brought it up to my own physician. He has it, too, predating mine, and worse. My suspicion about mine is that it was caused by a particularly strong non-steroidal anti-inflammatory medication given to me for my plantar fasciitis by my podiatrist.
Interesting--I first went to podiatrist for plantar fasciatis (teachinng= standing for too long} but he, mercifully, prescribed exercises only. I have become seriously against use of any pharma product.
Mine had gone on a long time and was unresponsive to the usual non-pharmaceutical interventions, or even to ibuprofen. We have a farm, and I really need to be able to walk. If I'd read the fine print long ago, who knows, but my need was fairly pressing at the time.

I do understand.
